“…Forced displacement has emerged as one of the most pressing humanitarian and development issues of our day. Not only are there now more displaced individuals around the world than any time since World War II (UNHCR, 2017), but the length of time in displacement for a great many is on the rise (Milner and Loescher, 2011;Crawford et al, 2015;IDMC, 2016;Martin, 2016). And while the so-called migration crisis in Europe has helped highlight the issue across popular media, it is important to keep in mind that the burden of displacement disproportionately falls on some of the poorest countries neighbouring those origin areas in conflict.…”

This paper examines the influence of Congolese refugees on host communities in Rwanda, with a focus on labour market activity and economic welfare. The analysis takes advantage of newly collected survey data from three refugee camps and their surrounding areas to compare individuals and households within communities at various distances from, and therefore exposure to, the refugee population. We find evidence that residing close to a refugee camp makes it more likely that an individual is engaged in wage employment in comparison to farming or livestock production, representing a shift away from subsistence farming activities. In addition, there is evidence that females living nearby a camp have a higher occurrence of selfemployment in business both as a primary and secondary activity, highlighting a notable gender-specific dynamic. Likewise, living in close proximity to a camp is associated with greater household asset ownership, benefiting both male-and female-headed households similarly, whereas no relationship is found in regard to ones' subjective perception of their household's economic situation. These generally encouraging results illustrate that refugees need not be a burden to their host societies, and their presence results in direct and indirect benefits.

“…Steffen et al [81] estimated potential tipping points with 2, 3, and 4°C scenarios, where Mexico will be highly impacted. Martin [82] insisted that humanitarian crises are increasing due to climate events such as hurricanes and floods or slow onsets, basically related to droughts, reducing crop yields, and lack of food and water, which harm the survival conditions of the people.…”

The present article<strong> </strong>studies the policy, numbers, and costs of disaster risk management (DRM) in Mexico, a country highly exposed to climate change, due to two oceans warming up. The PEISOR methodology facilitates interrelating complex interactions and pressures between the natural and the societal system (P), where dangerous effects (E) occur in extreme events, such as floods, landslides, and drought. The impacts (I) of global warming, the pressure of historical poverty, and vulnerable regions were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These societal outcomes (SO) are aggravated by gender and ethnic discrimination. The governmental response (R) has built up an alternative health system with access to medical attention. About DRM against climate catastrophes, loss and damage (L&D) policies prioritized cash transfers to affected people. This policy increased the dependency of poor people but produced electoral benefits for the leading party. Nevertheless, this DRM limits adaptation and resilience-building among social groups living in exposed regions mainly in the South, where indigenous groups suffer from low human development index and extreme poverty. The article also compares the quantitative costs of disasters in Mexico during the last five decades. Growing L&D invoices for the government and affected people occurred predominantly during the last decade. Worsening climate conditions, combined with the COVID-19 pandemic, public insecurity, and extreme poverty, represent survival threats for exposed people, where only a local bottom-up resilience-building may create an integrated DRM. In conclusion, the reactive policy of L&D has raised the electoral support of needed people but limited adaption to deal with extremer climate impacts. The official DRM policy impacts allocated 96% of the disaster budget for reconstruction and emergency management and only 4% for prevention. Especially affected are women, girls, and indigenous people with the highest death toll. Empowering these vulnerable groups would create greater resilience, where training in care economy, and environmental restoration could reduce the risks. The lack of adaptation also created a dependency on foreign countries for climate advice, hurricane tracking, early warnings, and disaster recovery, where affected people are trapped in poverty and often forced to migrate.

“…Scholars are exploring the particular experiences and vulnerabilities of women, children and LGBTQ+ people in migration processes (Murray, 2014). They analyse how gender intersects with other social categories such as race, ethnicity and class and shapes migrants' experiences, access to resources and integration outcomes (Martin, 2016). This literature review thus provides a snapshot of the diverse and interconnected research on contemporary migration issues.…”

This review article examines the significance of Ibn Khaldun's Muqaddimah in the context of migration issues. It aims to examine the ideas of Ibn Khaldun's work, the methodology used in the analysis and the main conclusions. In addition, the role of economic geography in improving our understanding of migration is highlighted throughout the article. The study employed a qualitative research methodology by analysing the relevant sections of Ibn Khaldun's work "Muqaddimah" that deal with migration issues. The results of the research showed that Ibn Khaldun's work "Muqaddimah" provides valuable ideas on migration issues. Moreover, the article showed the importance of economic geography as a complement to Ibn Khaldun's work in the study of migration issues. Thus, this review article highlights the continued importance of Ibn Khaldun's Muqaddimah in understanding migration issues. By synthesising historical analysis, socio-political dynamics, economic factors and spatial considerations, this study contributes to the broader debate on migration and highlights the potential of interdisciplinary approaches to deepen our understanding of contemporary migration issues.
